Safety on the Home Visits

The safety of our clients and our staff is our top priority, as we will potentially be treating you in your home.

If at any time during a home care visit a staff member feels unsafe, they have the right to leave immediately, and the full fee will still be applied to the client.

Refusal to Treat

It is the right and duty of the provider to use their medical skills and judgement to assess, treat and implement care plans for a patient. It is the provider's right to refuse to treat if there is a conflict of interest, safety concerns or for moral or legal reasons.

A complete fee will be applied to the patient's visit.
